Videos Up For Grabs
I sent out an e-mail almost two weeks ago (9/20) offering some weeded videos up for grabs – first come, first serve.  The deadline is today, October 1^st.  If you are interested in any of these films, please e-mail back to me or Cassie Shortle (cshortle@flls.org) . If you no longer have the e-mail, please let me know and I will resend it to you.  

Thanks!

The New-ILS committee met Wednesday and evaluated the features that all three didn't provide.  We assigned a value to each of those features.  Based on the that evaluation, we felt that the Innovative Millennium product was not as consortium friendly as the other two.  Based on a unanimous vote, Millennium was eliminated leaving the Dynix Horizon and GIS Polaris products.  Our next step is to evaluate each product on site.  We will keep you posted on our activities.
